My father, behold, the enemy's ships came (here); my cities(?) were burned, and they did evil things in my country. Does not my father know that all my troops and chariots(?) are in the Land of Hatti, and all my ships are in the Land of Lukka?...Thus, the country is abandoned to itself. May my father know it: the seven ships of the enemy that came here inflicted much damage upon us.

As for the foreign countries, they made a conspiracy in their islands. All at once the lands were on the move, scattered in war; no country could stand before their arms. Hatti, Kizzuwatna, Carchemish, Arzawa and Alasiya were cut off. A camp was set up in one place in Amurru; they desolated its people, and its land was like that which has never come into being. They were advancing on Egypt while the flame was prepared before them. Their league was Peleset, Tjeker, Shekelesh, Denyen and Weshesh, united lands. They laid their hands upon the lands to the very circuit of the earth, their hearts confident and trusting: "Our plans will succeed!"

These Peleset are dicks! I hope in 3000 years the Israelites smite them mercilessly.

I'm the arsenic from bronze smelting that poisons and causes birth defects among smiths that creates the "hunchbacked smith god" meme that carries over into the later iron age mythologies even though it doesn't make sense anymore

I'm the several civilizations attacked and scattered by the Bronze Age collapse, bits and pieces of their cultural history preserved by descendants, who band together and merge

Used to worship a stabby guy? Sure we'll take him. Used to worship a real hot babe with big hooters? Heck yeah she can come. How about a hot babe who's real smart and classy and stuff, and then a smith god who's a hunchback (why would a smith god be a hunchback? Oh yeah, bronze), what about lightning guy? Or plants lady (plants lady? Kinda lame, oh yeah farming)

Now that the marvel vs dc comic book crossover of religions has occurred the stage is set for the next big civilization and of course *stabbing*stabbijg*stsabbing* etc

I slew the Denyen in their isles; the Tjeker and the Peleset were made ashes. The Shardana and the Weshesh of the sea, they were made as those that exist not, taken captive at one time, brought as captives to Egypt like the sand of the shore. I settled them in strongholds bound in my name. Numerous were their classes like hundred-thousands. I taxed them all, in clothing and grain from the storehouses and granaries, each year.

I'm the very few naturally occurring veins of arsenic copper allowing for easy bronze manufacture, creating a metal stronger than raw iron, the basis of this civilization and also the basis for stories of magical elves/dwarves with magical metals from the distant past etc etc (stabbing)
